Restricted Stock Unit financial
"Represents restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Zoetis Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan"
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
dividend equivalent units financial
"and dividend equivalent units automatically issued thereon (each an "RSU" and collectively, "RSUs")"
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
contingent right financial
"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Zoetis Inc. common stock"
vest financial
"One-third of the total number of RSUs will vest and be settled in shares of Zoetis Inc. common stock"
A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.
Cause regulatory
"terminated without Cause (as defined in the Zoetis Executive Severance Plan) prior to the first vesting date"
